In the meantime, users are advised to run Word in "Safe Mode" to prevent the risk of the system being exploited by hackers.
The emergency statement issued by Microsoft came after security companies announced the discovery of widespread "phishing" attacks on a range of companies and government agencies in the US and EU. The attacker took advantage of the vulnerability in Word to implant Trojan programs into computer loopholes.
Currently, these phishing attacks are still rated at "low risk" with the majority of the above targets. However, the situation may change if the scale of exploiting vulnerabilities in Word is replicated, SANS technology director warned.
